Asbestos removal for Bucknell properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include broken sheets in gardens and cement flues and gutters, involving floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Bucknell, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Landlords, managing agents and employers

Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.

It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
